Nope, I keep claiming there were unproven claims of it happening.

I've noticed.  They say you can't prove a negative but that never seems to stop people from trying ad nauseum.

Here is the thing you are missing about what Warhippy is saying.............

 

If it has not been proven as fact.............it is gossip

 A person saying that he saw the cops stop Haitians with a truckload of cats  is not gossip. If it's not true he would be a liar.

It is no different than me saying.............I have heard rumors that you pick your nose. I have never met you, don't know where you live, never talked to you, but someone told me this was true..........so it must be true!.................

 

I have no inclination, nor have I ever, made the leap to it is true, never mind "it must be true". Calling the claims false is also incorrect. They are unproven. Since you're at least trying I will change the script here, the claims may be true. The info in the links I provided certainly make it seem likely.

So.  The media saying that a rumour proven false, is false.  is bad in your eyes.

 

But using anecdotal evidence you absolutely can not prove is somehow valid.

 

FFS this is getting sad bud.

Did you see the other clip where he struggled to move the the french fries 3 feet?  And how he had to be reminded of where to put them though he had been told where just moments before?

 

The restaurant was closed to the pubic. No customers in the store. The customers at the drive-through rehearsed and were vetted by the Secret Service. And this doofus is always on about the Fake News. He INVENTED fake news. This was fake, fake, fake.

A BOLT Story: From the TYEE, 16April2013

 

As the paisley-patterned ’60s cast their swinging spell upon the world, the B.C. Social Credit party stood ready to repel the sexual revolutionaries at the gates. 

 

Their shock troops were the Socred Women’s Auxiliary, the bedrock of the party and a perennial source of cheap laughs for the big-city media. Urban sophisticates might chuckle when WA members demanded the government circumcise rapists, but the party faithful knew what the ladies were talking about.

 

But no one knew what Socred backbencher Agnes Kripps was talking about on Feb. 19, 1970, when she rose in the house to say she hated sex.

Not the act, as it turned out, but the word: “That nasty little three-letter word,” she said, “carries with it a stigma and a distorted connotation. That word, Mr. Speaker, can have 100 different meanings to 100 different people, and while we all spell it the same way, there the similarity ends.”

 

After a quick dip onto the Oxford Dictionary for the etymology of the term, Kripps revealed that “today, sex is still a confused word.”

As honourable members snickered, she ploughed on: “Because so many shades of meaning have been written into the word, I have come to hate it, and I propose” -- more laughter from MLAs threw her off for a second here -- “I hate the word sex, and I propose that we throw it out of the vocabulary of education.

“Let’s find a substitute and start all over again.”

 

As elected representatives chorused “No! No!” Kripps confided, “Mr. Speaker, I didn’t know I was going to be the one blushing.”

She then offered a substitute.

“Let’s call it... listen carefully now, let’s call it, for example, BOLT. That stands for... Biology on Life Today: B-O-L-T.”

 

As MLAs collapsed in mirth, Kripps explained that BOLT was “just an example. You may have other words that you would like to use.”

Added Kripps: “By eliminating the word sex and replacing it with BOLT or any other word -- any other word -- we will remove the blindfolds, the smirks, the embarrassment and, above all, the ignorance.”“Call it Social Credit,” smirked one member.

 

As the house dissolved into hysterics, Kripps called on the Speaker to restore order: “Mr. Speaker, would you please break your gavel. Thank you.” (That’s the official Hansard version. Other accounts insist she said: “Mr. Speaker, won’t you please bang that thing of yours on the table?”)

 

It was left to the next speaker, Socred MLA Herb Capozzi, to wrap things up. “On behalf of all of us,” he said, “I would certainly welcome you, Mr. Speaker, to our bolt new world and I will certainly say that, if nothing else, she had everyone bolt upright in their chairs.”

 

Sadly, Kripps’s recommendation would go unheeded. BOLT, it seems, wasn’t better than sex.

Lost in all of this, are the minimum wage workers there who now lose a days wages so Trump can play make believe

 

At the ‘event’ Trump wouldn’t answer the reporter when asked “do you think these workers deserve to have minimum wage increased?” He just carried on with his usual word salad about great people, beautiful franchises, blah, blah blah. There have been several protests at this location in the past about raising the minimum wage to a living wage, which Trump opposed in 2019 despite saying he supported it during his campaign.

You really believe she lets him in her bed? I think the fire went out just after she got his name on the bottom line of her renegotiated pre-nup. Seriously, she can hardly stand to be seen with him.
